At 12:16p -0800 02/18/2004, Paul Berkowitz didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

I'm not quite sure how boo misconstrued that quite the way he did, but

Because...

At 03:32p -0800 02/17/2004, Paul Berkowitz didst inscribe:
tell application "Finder"
name of application file id "ttxt"
end tell
--> "TextEdit.app"

For some reason, the Finder won't actually get the application file id of
any app or app file any longer: if it isn't followed by a 4-character string
code 'id' errors. Bah.

...you said "if it isn't followed by a 4-character string code 'id' errors."

Bundle IDs are [in practice] longer than 4 characters. Thus my inference.

Glad it's all cleared up now, though. :)
